Either hang on to your old Mac until you're completely  tired of the 
games, or hope Apple keeps improving Classic. Even though it seems like 
every new version of OS X Classic handles more old apps, there's a 
limit to what Apple can do considering some of the "tricks" software 
developers use to eek out a little more performance. The sad part it 
those tricks they used to get acceptable performance on a pre-PPC or 
G1/2 Mac are probably unnecessary for a G3/4 system.
